  • Demo:
    • Here is where you get an instructor-led demo of building a GUI in Eclipse.
    • For this demo, we will reproduce the Macro Graphics Lab 2 panel layout using the "Absolute" layout in the Eclipse GUI builder.
    • This section assumes that you have setup Eclipse as outlined in Setup a Eclipse Project and in Setting up the GUI Builder.
    • To work through this demo without an instructor, you should make a link to the train directory from the $NMROOT/nxm directory:
       $ ln -s $NMROOT/htdocs/training/train/ $NMROOT/nxm/train
                
    • See theNeXtMidas User's Guide for another walk-through and additional information.
